Building a Mini Basketball Game as a VS Code Extension

Source: Dev.to

Overview

I’ve always wanted to build my own game. Recently, I started learning game development, and my first experimental project is a VS Code extension called Swipe Hoop. It’s a basketball mini‑game you can play inside VS Code. I originally wanted to name it Swipe Basketball, but VS Code Marketplace review policies prevent the use of words like “basketball” or “game” in the extension’s name.

It’s a small experiment, but it was surprisingly fun to build.

Installation

You can install the extension through the VS Code Marketplace or simply search for Swipe Hoop within VS Code.

Hope you enjoy the game!
